Why is it that game Devs are able to port games to pc but people aren’t able to do the same outside of emulation that take a while and doesn’t always run the best. I don’t know much about game development or computers, why is it so difficult/impossible?

It is just as difficult as emulation (you need to know the hardware just as well), but you only get one game instead of many.
It is also less legal: the game is protected intellectual property. The law may put some heavy restrictions: like prohibiting **any** monetary gain (including crowdfunding). Emulators are confirmed to be legal in some countries, even for selling (doesn’t stop game publishers from trying taking them down anyway).
